Simply Salmon Burgers
2007-07-10 02:53:00 I don’t watch cooking shows; we don’t have cable so the Food Network exists as only a hazy sliver of memory in my brain. Sure, I’ve seen some of it. I survived some boring and painful days in the hospital last summer after major surgery watching some FN shows that made me hungry for the ... More About: Simply , Burgers , Urge
WCB-High Summer Snuggling
2007-07-07 14:26:00 It’s high summer in the Midwest, and temps are very appropriate for July which can only mean one thing: HOT! Harmon has been nicknamed ‘Solar Cat’ due to his lengthy snoozes in the sunshine, which I am sure feels great on his very short summertime haircut. After a recent ladies-only weekend away, Harmon needed some pretty ... More About: Summer , High
Quintessential summertime
2007-07-04 17:13:00 It’s July 4th and the height of summer. The weather is warm, humid and occasionally thundery, the peak of flower season in the garden has come and mostly gone and the foods of summer are swelling in the markets at an alarming rate. Alarming because it just seems like there is simply not enough time ... More About: Summertime , Essential
To clarify the Puffin question?..
2007-07-03 12:53:00 Kate, and Kate are looking for some clarity and explanation to what Puff ins are, as I stated they were a favorite snack in my TMI meme post. Puffins are an unusual type of seabird, found on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, but it’s also the name of a cereal. Created by Barbara’s Bakery, Inc., the ... More About: Question , Clar

Sweet Saffron Pilaf with Currants and Nuts
2007-06-29 16:21:00 Often times, when I am browsing through a cookbook that I randomly pluck off a shelf in the library, I come across a recipe, one single recipe, that causes me to clutch the book to my chest in glee. I must check out the book even if it yields me that one and only gem, ... More About: Saffron , Sweet , Nuts , Currants , Saff
Hey there, gorgeous!!
2007-06-27 16:33:00 Stunning, isn’t it? This gorgeous Day Lily has not bloomed in the last two years, as some wily and irritating creature has helped themselves to the bud just as it gains enough momentum to burst into bloom. It only puts out one bloom per stalk, so it is limiting in its growth. This year, I thwarted ... More About: In The Garden , There , Gorgeous , Hey There
Pasta with Lemon Wine Sauce
2007-06-27 15:34:00 Or, more appropriately titled ‘How luscious lemon love saved the day’ Tuesday was a scorcher for us in MN. As I was driving home from the chiropractor in the mid-afternoon, the temperature reading in my car was a steady 97 degrees. By the time I rolled into my driveway it had dropped only to 94. My ...

Bragging Rights
2007-06-25 15:51:00 Minnesota and Wisconsin are well known for weather extremes. Well known. Some people think we live in parkas from September to May, suffer through windchills that freeze your eyeballs and endure sub-zero temps for 8 months out of the year. It’s all wrong; just wrong. Yup, winter is cold. Deal with it, OK? But we get ... More About: Rights , Brag , Bragg

Fruits of Summer
2007-06-22 02:40:00 Simply washing them is inspirational. Eating them is mind-boggling, although unfortunately the grapes were rather sour. The Cherries are out of this world. I don’t even mind the cost of them; their season is so short here and I will make the best of them while I can. Other wonderful fruits available this time of year ... More About: Fruits , Summer
Wood Oven Chimnea Pizza- Round 2
2007-06-18 20:42:00 The idea and concept of turning my lovely chimnea into a wood burning pizza oven was not at all a bad idea, just one that needed some fine tuning. Our first adventure provided enough of a base to work with, despite a charred crust that was inedible. We agreed that a buffer between the grill ... More About: Pizza , Wood , Round , Oven
WCB- Dramatic Changes
2007-06-16 16:12:00 The before shot…….. And now…..the after shot June in our house means the Annual Shave for Harmon, and this year it was, again, a very timely date as he was shaved on Monday and the entire week has been hot with temps in the 90’s and high humidity. He has been a very happy cat without his ... More About: Changes , Amat , Chang , Chan , Dram
June in the garden
2007-06-15 16:59:00 I wait in high anticipation for this gorgeous lily to bloom each June . It is truly a one-of-a-kind. And my day lily patch is abundant with rich red color. The Peonies peaked; then the heat knocked them flat but the giant soft blossoms were so lovely and fragrant for a few wonderful days. More About: Garden , In The Garden , The G , Arden
Spring Rolls
2007-06-13 21:13:00 The heat marches on, another hot day on tap. I am getting up around 6:00 am to get outside for a walk before it heats up too much. The mornings are gorgeous and cool; hardly a hint of what the afternoons become with their hot, windy sky and burning sun. But I do love it. ... More About: Spring
Dill Overkill meets the Iron Chef
2007-06-12 03:48:00 Do you ever follow a recipe blindly and come up with something that tastes like nothing, or maybe a whole lot of something you don’t want?? What do you do? How do you fix it?? Read on to see what happens when too much dill threatens an otherwise beautiful idea. School’s out for the summer and ... More About: Chef , Overkill , Kill , Iron , Dill

Gingery Panko-Crusted Salmon
2007-06-04 15:58:00 I should have used the flash on my camera; it would have given you a better idea of how brilliantly this salmon turned out. The heat from the grill seared the panko topping to a golden brown, and made the edges slightly crunchy and even crisper. Does this photo look better? Sorta…I guess. This is what ...

WCB- lol cats
2007-06-02 05:56:00 We have been howling with laughter over ‘I Can Has Cheezburger?’ the zany, crazy site of captioned cat photos that is irresistibly funny and engaging. So…… well, you know that I tend to be just slightly zany myself sometimes, which may explain why such a site will get me so bent over with laughter, it ... More About: Cats
Chipotle Orange Turkey Burgers with Lime Cream
2007-05-31 16:01:00 I’m sitting at my computer, the memory of this meal fresh in my mind and I find that I am unable to come up with some type of glorious adjectives to rightly describe what this tasted like. I don’t often find that I am speechless when it comes to the food I make; more often ... More About: Turkey , Orange , Burgers , Lime , Cream
Interview Meme
2007-05-29 21:01:00 This interview meme is making the blog rounds. I caught it on Marce’s Pip in the City site and offered myself up for scrutiny. Thanks Marce for taking me up on the offer! If it’s about food, I can talk forever, and Marce gave me lots to think about. So here goes. 1. What´s your favorite ... More About: Meme , Interview

Poorly Polenta-ized
2007-05-25 18:06:00 So this is probably the better place for me to confess my culinary sins and misfortunes, as very few of you would know me well enough to nudge me with an elbow should we pass on the street (best yet…most of you aren’t even close enough to me in proximity to do so) and despite ...

2007-05-23 14:31:00 It’s disappointing, and often monumentally, when you prepare to make something that you are sure you’re going to love in such a way that you want everyone you know to get busy and make it right now because you know that they will love it, recommend it and pass it down to future generations, and ...

I can’t dig in the garden and I can’t chase the birds and I can’t swat at your feet when you go by me hiding among the lilacs or race out in front of you to try and startle you (did it work?? Huh??

Single origin Chocolates
2007-05-17 15:32:00 Somewhere in one of the numerous food magazines that I read each month was an article on premium single origin chocolates, highlighting four new bars from Hershey’s, each with it’s own unique flavor profile. Here, in the chocolate world, we come upon the concept of ‘gout de terroir’ which translates into ‘taste of the earth’ ( ... More About: Chocolates , Sing , Single , Late , Chocolat
Too weird not to take note of?.part 4
2007-05-17 14:32:00 I suppose it’s my own fault for referring to my food as being addicting like crack (which, really….like I know??), because then I get into trouble with my Blog Stats sending someone my way with really odd, but obvious hits. like this one: “How to make Mac+and+cheese+crack+cocaine “ And when I joke about inviting drunk chickens to dinner ...

Eat out or eat in?
2007-05-15 16:44:00 What’s your preference? To me, this article says it all. I’m pretty certain there are opposite camps of passionate voices over this topic. For those who love to cook, who live to cook (and photograph, write and share the results) it’s likely a no-brainer that eating at home is most rewarding for them. I know it’s ...
Carne Adovada
More articles from this author:2007-05-14 18:38:00 I could perhaps subtitle this post “The Wait Coulda Killed Me” to get the point across that this dish takes time, people. The particular recipe I followed said to marinate the meat for 48 hours. That’s one heckuva long time to wait for something so good. But it was worth it. Woweeee…. was it worth it.
